We really love these products and they were very popular when we last had them in, we’re excited to see the new lines coming in next week.
Our friend Emily and her Yorkies
Did you know that Early Work Toy Station is Pet Friendly? Some of you might even remember our store cat, Kibby, who is now retired and living with store owner, Linda. We have had so many doggy visitors this past week that we decided to dedicate a blog entry just to them. Of course, we’ve had to promise Kibby that he can start blogging soon, as well!
Our friend Stephanie's dog Emma Parsley
We even have dog treats for our visiting doggy friends, courtesy of Our Best Friends pet and people shop in Petaluma. Our good friend, Stephanie Hartman owns this wonderful pet-centric gift shop at 2nd and E Streets in Petaluma. If you need a gift for your four-legged friend or a two-legged animal lover this is the place for you. So, now when you bring in your friendly, leashed puppy we’ll have some healthy and tasty snacks for them! Their website is www.ourbestfriendspetaluma.com
Our dog cookie jar filled with goodies from Our Best Friends
Last time I was in Our Best Friends I even saw local dog celebrity, Maddie! Check out Ross and Maddie’s Blog http://ross-lockhart.petaluma360.com
Of course, we couldn’t blog about pets without mentioning some of our own! So we’ll end this blog entry with pictures of some of the Early Work staff’s pets. In case you couldn’t tell, dogs like the sturdy new Melissa and Doug Shopping Cart almost as much as the kids do!
Amazing employee, Nicole's dog Darla!
Manager, Rachel's dog Bitsee
Rachel's other dog, Oy (he thinks he's a baby!)
